Indeed. At least in our usage of the tool, it is counter-intuitive
that on the page for 25062, one gets the result and a link to another
build. I assume the Jenkins devs have a reasoning for that. To satisfy
my curiosity, how is that "other build" chosen? Most recent? Most
recent successful?

Now that I look more closely, I also notice that the URL is
constructed the other way round:

 * this build:  https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/lo_gerrit/${BUILD_NUMBER}/Config=${CONFIG}/
 * other build: https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/lo_gerrit/Config=${CONFIG}/${BUILD_NUMBER}/

Thanks for the explanation, now I will know what to look for :)
